Are the police institutionally racist?

Greater Manchester Police branded 'institutionally racist' - BBC News




Greater Manchester Police has been described as institutionally racist by the chairwoman of a panel scrutinising the force's record.

Elizabeth Cameron suggested disproportionate use of police powers went "beyond unconscious bias and into the realms of racism".

A report into race equality issues at GMP found officers were four times more likely to use force on black people.

Chief Constable Stephen Watson rejected the claim.

However, he admitted it was likely the force could feasibly employ "somebody who behaves in a racist way".

But he insisted they would be "rooted and booted out" of the force.
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

Yawwwwwwwwn!

"The 2021 Achieving Race Equality Report, which was commissioned by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham"


So Burnham has sanctioned the release of THIS report, what about the one he's sitting on about his failings as Mayor that saw the police service  ( ;D ) put in special measures
